Lake Michigan was voor een groot deel dichtgevroren in 1963, 1977, 1979 en 1994.
There is too much wind and wave action, plus strong currents, on the Big Lake to allow it to freeze over.”
The Great Lakes do freeze, but not completely. According to Ray Assel of the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, ice cover on the Great Lakes varies from lake to lake and year to year. For example, in a year with normal temperatures, 25 percent of Lake Ontario will be frozen over, while up to 90 percent of Lake Erie will be frozen. However, wind and water movement over bodies of water as large and deep as the Great Lakes make it unlikely the lakes have ever frozen over completely for any significant length of time.
